Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen

Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen have both been known to write about relatable struggled through superior songwriting and performance, resulting in massive success and fanbases. Tom Petty, known for his passion and conviction on stage, the group was self-defined by Damn the Torpedoes, a make it or break it type album that actually sounded like a Greatest Hits album. Springsteen found success by winning over crowds with a system to buy into. This was most apparent with the super-patriot, borderline cheesy "Born in the U.S.A.".

Music in 1975

The year of 1975 was comprised of significant events and band accomplishments in music. Elton John's Greatest Hits were released to start off the year, which made ripples. But this was followed up by the huge release of Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti. Bob Dylan left his mark with the Number 1 album Blood on the Tracks. The cult-following band, Nazareth, had a top ten hit with "Love Hurts". Aerosmith had a huge year with the release of Toys in the Attic, a re-release of "Dream On" and a top 40 hit with Sweet Emotion. The group with the considerably biggest year was The Eagles, with a number one album and three top 5 hits off of that, including "One of These Nights", which went number one.
